The Tibetan Terrier Health and Welfare Foundation (TTHWF) was established in 2007 by the Tibetan Terrier Club of America (TTCA) to ensure a healthy future for the breed. The Foundation’s work, which includes funding rescue operations, medical research and health trials, benefits Tibetan Terriers and other dog breeds and their owners throughout the world.

Your Donations
Since 2007, donors have funded research for Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL), PRA, Autoimmunie Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA), Canine Atopic Dermatitis, Lymphoma, NCL stem cell research and Renal Dysplasia. In addition to the AKC/CHF grants, we are also funding a study by Dr. Richard Vulliet and his research with Stem Cell Therapy for dogs affected by NCL. See information on this research here: LINK

Advances in Breed Health
Great strides are being made in research for many of the diseases that directly affect the Tibetan Terrier. The TTHWF funded the research at the University of Missouri which developed the test to identify NCL carriers, affected and clear dogs; and the research at Cambridge University which developed the test to identify PLL carriers, affected and clear dogs. These tests allow breeders to make informed decisions before they breed which makes for a happier and healthier Tibetan Terrier!  
For information about current research, see the TTCA Health Page.

Rescue Fund
The Foundation also provides a rescue fund for the welfare of the Tibetan Terrier breed to support the rescue activities of the TTCA. Go to TTCA RESCUE
